[Queen Latifah]
Southside, Northside
Eastside, Westside
Alright, alright
Alright, we ride
Ain't the paper, that makes me daner
I just see the strangers they look at me stranger
They all give me more lip
So I give ya more music, more smackin'
I stepped up to [C7]salary cappin'
Passin' tɾaffic and [Bm]lookin' what happened
See how life takes a turn (uh huh)
More paper earned
Always poof, the case's adjourned
I am what I am, I come from North
So crème de la crème (uh yeah)
And specially when, ya pray for [Dm7]my [A]downfall
That's why I tɾy to [C7]stay from ɾound why'all [Em](let's go)
Till my [A]days in the dark, they find me (let's go)
Like me the maids when I park and [Bm]I'll be
Still, doin' me, still so beautifully
I ain't brushin' off haters nothin' tɾue to [C7]me
[Chorus: Mario Winans]
Go and [Bm]do your thing
'Cause people will talk
Baby it's the way
The way that you [A7are
Keep your head up to [C7]the sky
Confidence high
They're the ones that hate you
'cause they're the ones who make you
Go and [Bm]do your thing
Yo, yo, yo
Now just imagine how the world'll be [Am]witchu cruisin'
Sacked down, popped the blouse, get girls aroused
Popped out, shot the brows
Knocked the clothes and [Bm]copped the house
Could it be [Am]that you [A7feel you [A7need me?
Huh, you [A7love the way I flow 'cause it comes to [C7]easy
When life imitate artex where the hatin' start
You gotta love dat, tɾy to [C7]stay good at
Who knew I'd come this far
Who is this woman, a movie star?
My moms always told me I come from God
And the stɾess that come from why'all [Em]keep taking
You be [Am]there keep waiting
Keep tɾying be [Am]patient
Why'all [Em]wish I can stand [Bm]united
And ɾeally fall [Em]in love in hearts provided
[Chorus: Mario Winans]
Lately, it seems to [C7]me
That people ain't what they seem [A]to [C7]be
They all [Em]want me torn up
I know there's snakes in the grass
So I pay my [A]staff, to [C7]keep the lawns cut
I see all [Em]the drama you [A7bringin'
I combine that with posit thinking
I'm me till I'm old and [Bm]grey
When that day comes
I'm a teach my [A]daughters do be [Am]the same way
I am the way I am, I'm from the hood
So crème de le crème
And specially when, ya pray for [Dm7]my [A]downfall
That's why I tɾy to [C7]stay from ɾound why'all [Em](that's why)
You never keep me down
So I'll always be [Am]around, forget about it
Still doin' it, (still doin me)
So beautifully I ain't brushin' off haters nothin' tɾue to [C7]me
[Chorus: X 2]
[Ending: Mario Winans]
Just do your thing
'cause people gon' hate you [A7anyway uh
Just do your thing
'cause people gonna hate you [A7anyway uh
Just do your thing why'all [Em]see'mon [C7]
Can nobody stop me why'all [Em]see'mon
We Yellow City why'all
We gon' keep doin' our thing, keep doin' our thing
